Title:
PhD Student, (she/her)
Biography :
I am interested in the changing social relations in cities within--and beyond--capitalism. My dissertation research considers efforts to decommodify housing in Toronto since the 1960s, examining the role of feminist movements, among others, in such initiatives.
I also hold a Research Assistantship to support community capacity building with the Kensington Market Community Land Trust (KMCLT). For more, see: kmclt.ca
Exploring the relationship between visual representation and material reality is a core concern guiding my research and public advocacy.
